The lunatics are running Labour, Disney Spells. Pun intended. This, despite legions of spin doctors. Your clip of Kiri and Saint J looking rather glum cracked me up.
The positive changes that are required in New Zealand will have to come from the public not politicians. Politicians have very little power, as bureaucrats run everything. Ministers are, in most cases figureheads, unless they are passionate about the portfolio, understand the science and principles underpinning that portfolio, and more importantly understand why they are there, and are loyal to the principles of statesmanship. And even then, they have to start draining the swamp.
Simply being made a minister, and especially a list member being a minister is a foregone conclusion it will be a cluster.

Such black humour is an appropriate and entirely accurate portender of what's to come if a Labour coalition is returned in October.
